Kirklees Council Air Quality and Urban Traffic Management Control Improvement Programme - Market Engagement

Tender description

Kirklees Council is looking to engage with suitably qualified and experienced organisations to deliver air quality improvements via technological solutions at our signalised junctions within our Air Quality Management Areas. Kirklees recognises that Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), using signal predictability could offer another solution to the use of SCOOT during these of peak periods. We are interested in technology which improves traffic flow and reduces stop start traffic, thereby reducing emissions. We seek to monitor and/or predict emissions to adjust signals based on to localised conditions across the District (e.g. the Virtual Emissions Monitor). When ITS is implemented, we believe it could either introduce a series of Fixed Time UTC plans or enhance the performance of SCOOT. Keywords: UTMC, SCOOT, AQMAs, NO2
